  1. So what if aliens come to evangelize? What if they also believe in God and bring some other aspect of the Christian faith with them? Or a different religion? I think if they come with religion, I can see athiests becoming religious again. Because if they came with better tech and science and religion, how would they be able to rationalize that? Sometimes I think aliens are part of the athiest "religion". It takes a ton of faith to believe something that isn't visibly proven. Besides... math is just a symbolic representation of potential physical reality. It's like the mathematical creed is "if this, then that". All that said, it doesn't mean I don't believe it's possible that there are "aliens". I just put it into the category of "I don't know" and leave it at that. I don't believe God created only the Earth... I believe he created EVERYTHING visible and invisible and I think that includes potentiality. I have a friend that believes and is ready for aliens to beam her up and I'm very sure that there's a possibility that it could be a really bad idea to be THAT open to the stranger, but I'm pretty cautious when it comes to new people, let alone a whole new intelligent life form. Even as a Christian AND Orthodox I roll with a personal philosophy of open skepticism. I like to test everything for truth. And I don't believe truth is only measured by "science" because I find love to be a truth and how does science measure that? By monitoring brain activity and hormone fluctuations? Get out of here with that, it doesn't make any sense. Lol As an aside, I think that potential is a big deal to God too... this is why I think schmamortion is a big deal to us Christians. By participating in that practice, you kind of squash potential. Isn't that why we mourn all forms of death? A new life is a new opportunity. We really aught to stop thinking of ourselves and remember that new life is part of how we exist in the world. We forget our ancestors, we forget our history. We abort the process of potential growth by extending into the future through reproduction, we destroy potential and our future. Everything about our theology seems to point to how we relate to the world. Destroy potential, destroy the future. Our relationship with our body reflects our relationship to the world. We no longer so reverence to the body, the world is falling apart. Trash in, trash out. I dunno. I've got a tendency to go off. Forgive me.
